The General Who Hates Me

As soon as Thea arrived and boarded the s.h.i.+p, Leon welcomed her with a hug as he whispered, "I heard you brought a lot of tracking devices with you, my Queen . "

Thea wanted to vomit on his face, but instead she just scoffed at him, "Yeah, but then I guess I failed . I almost forgot that persistent weeds like you is hard to pull out . "

Leon released her from his hug a little bit, just enough so he could see her face . He let out a cackle of laughter, "Anyway, you are just in time to witness a good show . And I have a surprise for you too . Oh, vixen, how I miss you!"

He then heedlessly pulled her in for another hug again, which disgusted her greatly . But she did not bother to resist . After feeling satisfied from squeezing her body tightly against his, Leon wrapped one of his arms around Thea"s shoulders as he pulled her towards the deck where the tournament would be held .

"I see Chin is sticking around you like a leech, huh?" Leon sneered when he saw Chin following closely behind them .

Advertis.e.m.e.nt "She is the only one I got now, so if you kill her, it"s as good as killing me . I will die if she dies…" Thea stated menacingly . But it was not a threat, because she meant every word she said . Chin was like family to her since she got none of her own .

But at that instant, Jeru"s face popped up in her mind, leaving her bewildered . "What is this? Why would I think of him suddenly?" She shook her head to brush it off .

Leon led her to their seats, from which they had a great view of the tournament . Terror overtook her face as she saw the cage fighting ring in the center .

Her eyes were automatically scanning for Zach among the fighters and she could not help but cry when her gaze landed on him . Zach was really alive .

Leon"s mouth twitched upon seeing Thea"s reaction . "Look at you, so overwhelmed after just having a look at him . Yes, I"ve been keeping him alive while you were gone, and you see how effective it is? You came to me on your own, because you want to save him, right? Well, joining hands with the military was the stupidest thing you could do . They are a bunch of morons and they will only fail like before . "

Leon squeezed Thea"s hand hard as he added, "With money you can obtain power, and with that power nothing is impossible! See? I"m at the top of my game and have become so powerful now that no one is able to bring me down . You should use that pretty little head of yours now while I still fancy you…"

Thea gritted her teeth and complained, "You"re hurting my hand . "

Leon creased his forehead and he turned to look at Thea with a gloomy face as he said, "You know I will never hurt you . Why can"t you accept me already? I love you and I"m sincere about you!"

The fact that she had turned her back on him had pained and angered him . But he was not willing to let her go . She was his . He owned her .

Thea looked at him in contempt and said, "That"s not love Leon, it"s obsession . You are consumed with your desire to own me . You considered me as one of your possessions . Your plaything . That"s not love, but poison . Instead of setting me free so I could have a happy life, all you want is to confine me so that you can show off your power by torturing me and making me miserable . "

Her body trembled as a surge of rage swept through her . The more she recalled those horrible years in which Leon had her witness all the heinous things that he had done, the more irate she became . Leon did not respond and just looked at Zach with fury .

"No matter what, you are mine and you will always be mine… Whoever dares to stand in my way will have to die . After I"m done with your first love, I will have the head of Jeru Liu . Well, the show is about to begin… And I"m sure you will like this reunion, my Queen . "

Thea"s face went blank upon hearing Leon"s words .

"Did he know?" She mused nervously and murmured, "What do you mean?"

Leon only answered her with an evil smirk before he s.h.i.+fted his gaze to his men and gestured them to look after Thea . It was time for him to stand on the center of the arena to welcome his guests .

. . . … .

"Your names will be shuffled and randomly picked by the machine . It"s a three days tournament and the first round starts tonight!" Draco briefed the fighters who were sitting on the rows of benches next to the fighting ring from where they could also watch the tournament .

The area where they were seated was enclosed with metal bars and heavily guarded by a group of armed men . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .

Each fighter had an identification band attached to their arms in different colors, so the guests could single them out easily . The guests would then take a pick which one of the fighters they would like to place their bet on .

Zach scanned through the guests that were entering the venue and he roughly estimated that there were probably more than a hundred of them .

Leon went inside the cage fighting ring and stood on its center as all the lights focused on him . "Welcome, my esteemed guests! It"s a great pleasure to see and welcome you all to my first ever "Live Or Die" underground fighting tournament . Our fighters are the best of the best, as they were carefully selected from all over the world . So I"m sure you will enjoy each and every fight as they will all battle each other . . . for their lives!"

Then he turned to face the guests on the other side of the arena, while adding, "Make sure to place your bets well! I a.s.sure you that it will be an exhilarating three days of vicious and intense tournament!"

"And without further ado, let me introduce each of the fighters and their abilities through this video . Please watch it closely, " Leon ended his speech as the video started to play .
